what an "interesting" watch...(NOT)

Is he being cringy again? LOL

 

[kieran_read]

you know you can change the playback speed of youtube videos?

has the RT performance of a last gen nvidia card though, inte's next gen card will probably have better RT than this

Literally the ONLY argument you have is RT nothing else.

The bonus in RT over AMD is not worth £500 -£700 that's all there is to it.

Still hardly any games actually use it of which the ones that do almost all of them will at least hit 60 with the exception of CyberPunk. Which is enough for Single Player at least.

By the time RT is big enough to warrent spending SIGNIFICANTLY more money on it there will be. 8000 series and 9000 series so if you want to complain about it then feel free.

As it stands I play mostly online games and of that FPS I will not be using RT that just won't be happening.

The non RT performance at guestimate levels before reviews looks to be within 10-15% if not even closer for that price it is significantly better.

This looks to have RT closer to that of a 3090ti at least going by AMDs own slides.

The 7900 is cheaper than the 3090ti.

I would be getting roughy the same RT performance for less than what the 3090ti costs and close to 4090 non RT performance for less than a 3090ti.

There is no scenario where you're right here, unless you only play the one or two single player games that use RT and nothing else.

The 7900XTX is incredible value for what it is, (assumption being we don't get scalped by retailers) and you're not going to convince me otherwise .

Frankly I hope Nvidia doesn't lower their prices just because it will amuse me listening to you trying to defend them.

It's a good watch for Nvidia fans who are really trying to find a way to take a competitor to the 4080 and try and force it to be compared to the 4090 instead.

It’s a good watch for Nvidia fanboys who can’t afford Rtx 4090 and wants ADA and are justifying Rtx 4080 and realising there is nothing to justify it and so resort to making stuff up!

 

[muon]

If the 7900 XTX is a 4080 competitor, it is interesting they called it that.

The 6800 XT was the 3080 competitor.

I still think there is a tier inflation going on. Just like nvidia has done. Nvidia got called out for massively increasing the 4080 price, but AMD have avoided it in this thread by calling it the 7900 card.

The 6900 XT was somewhat okay at $999 as it was undercutting the $1,499 3090 and targetting that card.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Incredible value at over £1100...

What the heck haha

That guy flipped so hard from amd bandwagon to nvidia bandwagon in 48 hours

And that video title, such clickbait. If people just ignore any rumours they heard in the past about rdna3 and just look at what the $999 7900xtx is right now then it's a very good product and nowhere near what that video title is claiming, I think of several AMD GPUs that launched in actual bad shape, the 7900xtx is not even close to being a bad product

 

[pc-guy]

Rtx 4080 16GB incredible value

Oh, I forgot to tell you about him. He's done this before. The last time he did it he got scolded so much he laid low and deleted the video. And people found out that his "inside sources" all came from someone he knows at MSI. So, I wouldn't worry to much about him. He's certainly doing it for the "clicks".

 

[Darujhistan]

Is Sapphire still the go to vender when buying AMD cards or are there any others that have replaced them?

In general - yes. Never had a bad Powercolor card though either and i've had several of both. Both are consistently excellent for AMD.

 

[pc-guy]

Seems everyone annoyed was just hoping for a price cut on the 4090 with no intention of ever buying AMD.

Rtx 4090 £500 wen

The thing is, I've been on this forum for a long time and it's interesting that the most vocal GPU enthusiasts don't seem to post much in the pc gaming forum. They are extreme benchmark whores and probably don't actually complete half of the stuff they load up.

The bigger the GPU the bigger the e-peen and only benchmarks make the e-peen happy?

 

[Joxeon]

4080 16gb at £750-£800 would have probably ended 7900xtx , even with slightly less raster but better RT

The raster gap could be as much as 60% in AMDs favor in some titles although I think 30-40% will be the average which would have been the equivalent gap of a 3070 vs a 6900XT, now imagine the 3070 was 1200 quid.

 

[Darujhistan]

This is the observation we have been posting for years! When AMD were weak the excuses were "if only they offered competition.." Then when they give you choice "ahh but my rich feature set and productivity I use once a year, nah I'll pay the extra.."

So true.

Now they've got a choice, they dont want it!

I have not used CUDA nor other "productivity" features of my 3080Ti even once, since I got it. Neither I did it on 2070S back in the days. And that's on a PC I use for work as well. I simply need none of these, aside proper gaming performance and ability to watch videos. Low power use and silence are nice bonuses!

 

[Tinek]

I lasted 30 seconds, then turned it off.

Same actually. If I wanted to see someone point all the silly marketing in presentation - I'd watch GN (and I have). At east GN can see both positive and negative bits and present them well.

The quietest gaming experience so far is playing noughts and crosses.

 

[Tinek]

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not I mean the 6950 already beats the 3080 as it is.

I don't get why Nvidia fans are so upset by this AMD launch.

You guys chose to spend £1700 on a GPU maybe go and game on it, enjoy your purchase.

It seems very expensive to spend £1700 so you can use those pixels to **** on a product you have no interest in buying.

As I said earlier, it's quite clear. They wanted good competitor of 4090, much cheaper than 4090 - just so 4090 would drop in price so they could buy it cheaper (as they would NEVER buy AMD, no matter what). And it's not, it's 4080 competitor, hence salt is everywhere.

 

[uscool]

The 4080 16gb could drop in price they can buy that instead

They're never going to buy AMD in a million years and they know it, they're salty AF right now because AMD just called their bluff, and the mental gymnastics required to justify they 2K they just spent has just gone through the roof.

Now they can't pretend even to themselves that some extra RT performance is worth anything from £500 to a grand, because it isn't. What's even better is that if AMD had produced a 450-600W brick first to market @ 1.7K plus they'd have memed the **** out of it...

And now so many of those that justified Turing pricing are indeed themselves - now priced out...

ofcourse they do... nothing about pushing games forward and getting out of the boring stale graphics of the last 5-7 years, held back by cards with poor RT performance.


Can it run crysis answer in modern times is "but no one wants to run crysis anyway"

They're never going to buy AMD in a million years and they know it, they're salty AF right now because AMD just called their bluff, and the mental gymnastics required to justify they 2K they just spent has just gone through the roof.

I love how people think anyone who can afford to spend 1700 on a graphics card suddenly misses that money and wants it back they probably have another 2k+ since these cards came out burning another hole in their pocket.


With the shortage anyway anyone who regrets buying a 4090 can sell it for what they paid and wait to buy an AMD card if they really wanted to... ya'll be acting like they threw money down a wishing well or something
